Everyone loves the look of a nice out of focus background, but it’s hard to achieve in a home studio. Accessory manufacturer Lastolite believes it might have the solution, with two new reversible backgrounds printed with out of focus images of a seascape / autumn foliage and summer foliage / city lights. Measuring 1.5 x 1.2m (4′ x 5′) the backgrounds are big enough for almost full-length portraits of most adults, and weigh in at 3kg (6.6lb) each.

The backgrounds are collapsible down to 1/3 of their full size and a bag is included with each, for easy transport. The rims of the backgrounds are guaranteed for life by Lastolite.
Both of the Out of Focus backgrounds are available now for $205.59 / £118.95


Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
